I am just glad you're ok."[/color] Kayden said to his friend with a sweeping bow, extravagant even to those whom he was somewhat familiar with when it suited him. [color=4851AA]"Honestly I'm just as worried as your sibling I'm not certain where they are, but I'm sure they'll show up soon. A person has to eat, after all. In fact, let's head off the dining hall and see if we can grab some of that Garreg Mach food I've heard so much about. The Banquets here are said to be extravagant."[/color] With that, Kayden led his fellow Eagle down the hallowed, winding halls of the veritable fortress they found themselves in, poking around for a bit and asking servants and staff directions until they made it just to the dining hall, which did not disappoint the debonair prince. The chamber was tall expansive, with long tables and fine silverware presented for any who sought to take a seat. The scent of food wafted toward his waiting nostrils, and an exuberant 'mmmm' escaped his lips. He would go grab whatever food there was, but as he made his way to where he would serve himself, he saw Lienna, Auberon, and Kellen sitting with one another, and a strange fellow making his way off. He recognized him as Derec, but he had forgotten where he said he had come from. [i]I'll find out later, I suppose[/i] he thought to himself. [i]I need to keep better tabs on people[/i]. It was just at that moment that the thief that had flown under his radar sped past him into the dining hall, only to be tackled by the guards. Kayden guffawed at the spectacle, more than a little surprised at the sudden eruption of movement, and a thief at this place of worship, what's more! It was free entertainment, plus, he didn't see his fiance in sight! [color=4851AA]"I'm going to go and say hello to our fellow students over at the table, Valerian."[/color] He said, and with his plate of food now full, he walked over there with a deliberate stride, poking his head over the group that congregated about the dining table. [color=4851AA]"Why hello! Mind if I join for some good conversation with my food? Don't feel pressured..."[/color] He assured them. [color=4851AA]"It might seem a bit odd for Eagles and Lions to sit together, but I thought I'd ask regardless."[/color]
